I think it's interesting that you never told us--or her--if you even wanted the bangles to begin with. Were these a family heirloom? Do you like them? Were you hoping to inherit them? When your mother asked, why were you hesitant to answer?

Maybe your mother thought you weren't enthusiastic enough in your response.
Maybe your mother was hoping you would say no because she thought your sister-in-law would like them.
Maybe your mother offered them prematurely, then regretted doing so.

So many possibilities.[/quote]

I wanted the bangles, because I love wearing bangles and bracelets. My mother knows that I like bangles. I hesitated because they are expensive and have a lot of value and if I can accept it.

For the past 5 years, my mom has been saying that she wants to give me her jewelry and I am used to hearing that and also got used to the idea that I am going to inherit it. But the recent circumstance is making me step back and reconsider this assumption. Mixed feelings about the whole thing. Should I accept anything she offers happily? If I refuse, would it go to a non-deserving (in my opinion) person?[/quote]
